I wash my Hermes scarves all the time. I recommend rolling up in a large towel ( like a jelly roll) and squeeze out the excess water. That way no chance of color bleeding. Finally, I iron up to the hems just before the scarf is completely dry. Otherwise, you might get wrinkles that are difficult to get out.

I wash all my scarves - and never had a problem - to avoid bleeding I add a sheet of shout color catcher to the soapy water and rinse water - The problem with dry cleaning is all the chemical stuff they use which really destroys the silk after awhile...Baby shampoo is a good washing liquid to use - and do NOT let the scarf sit for 30mns in the water ! just move it around a few times, if the water really gets dirty, do it over, and then rinse rinse rinse, you can add a little white vinegar in the last rinse...then roll it up in a towel and iron right away, making sure you don't go over the "roulotte" (edges) -

Wow that scared me!! Glad to see there is an at-home option to drycleaning those silk scarves. I was wondering if there is any type of at-home steamer you might recommend for silks? I was thinking of purchasing the small Joy Mangano one...

Oh!!! That's great experience, fantastic job, keep it up....when I read your blog, I was thinking that which scarf you had washed in machine, it will be destroyed but it shocked me that your both scarves are perfect. Cheers to you!!!
